Currently, Magnum basically have its end-users manage the COEs by themselves after a successful deployment. This might work well for domain users, but it is a pain for non-domain users to manage their COEs. By moving master nodes out of users¡¯ tenants, Magnum could offer users a COE management service. For example, Magnum could offer to monitor the etcd/swarm-manage clusters and recover them on failure. Again, the pattern of managing COEs for end-users is what Google container service and AWS container service offer. I guess it is fair to conclude that there are use cases out there?</font><br><font color="#1F497D" face="Calibri"> </font><br><font color="#1F497D" face="Calibri">>></font><font color="#0020C2" face="Calibri"> I am not sure when you talked about domain here, is it keystone domain or other case ?

Solutions could be (i) introducing a centralized control services for all tenants/clusters, or (ii) keeping the control services separated but isolating them by containers (instead of VMs).

In these COEs, control services (i.e. scheduler) run on master nodes, and containers run on worker nodes. If we can port the COE control services to Magnum control plate and share them with all tenants, we eliminate the need of master nodes thus improving resource utilization. In the new COE, users create/manage containers through Magnum API endpoints. Magnum is responsible to spin tenant VMs, schedule containers to the VMs, and manage the life-cycle of those containers. Unlike other COEs, containers created by this COE are considered as OpenStack-manage resources. That means they will be tracked in Magnum DB, and accessible by other OpenStack services (i.e. Horizon, Heat, etc.).</font><font size="4"><br></font><font size="4" color="#1F497D" face="Helvetica"><br>What do you feel about this proposal?

I am going to agree with both you and josh.</font><font size="4"><br></font><font size="4" face="Helvetica"><br>I agree that managing one large system is going to be a pain and pas experience tells me this wont be practical/scale, however from experience I also know exactly the pain Josh is talking about.</font><font size="4"><br></font><font size="4" face="Helvetica"><br>We currently have ~4k projects in our internal openstack cloud, about 1/4 of the projects are currently doing some form of containers on their own, with more joining every day. If all of these projects were to convert of to the current magnum configuration we would suddenly be attempting to support/configure ~1k magnum clusters. Considering that everyone will want it HA, we are looking at a minimum of 2 kube nodes per cluster + lbaas vips + floating ips. From a capacity standpoint this is an excessive amount of duplicated infrastructure to spinup in projects where people maybe running 10¨C20 containers per project. From an operator support perspective this is a special level of hell that I do not want to get into. Even if I am off by 75%, 250 still sucks.</font><font size="4"><br></font><font size="4" face="Helvetica"><br>From my point of view an ideal use case for companies like ours (yahoo/godaddy) would be able to support hierarchical projects in magnum. That way we could create a project for each department, and then the subteams of those departments can have their own projects. We create a a bay per department. Sub-projects if they want to can support creation of their own bays (but support of the kube cluster would then fall to that team). When a sub-project spins up a pod on a bay, minions get created inside that teams sub projects and the containers in that pod run on the capacity that was spun up under that project, the minions for each pod would be a in a scaling group and as such grow/shrink as dictated by load.</font><font size="4"><br></font><font size="4" face="Helvetica"><br>The above would make it so where we support a minimal, yet imho reasonable, number of kube clusters, give people who can't/don¡¯t want to fall inline with the provided resource a way to make their own and still offer a "good enough for a single company" level of multi-tenancy.</font><font color="#535353" face="Courier New"><br>>Joshua,<br>> <br>>If you share resources, you give up multi-tenancy. No COE system has the<br>>concept of multi-tenancy (kubernetes has some basic implementation but it<br>>is totally insecure). Not only does multi-tenancy have to ¡°look like¡± it<br>>offers multiple tenants isolation, but it actually has to deliver the<br>>goods.<br>> <br>>I understand that at first glance a company like Yahoo may not want<br>>separate bays for their various applications because of the perceived<br>>administrative overhead. I would then challenge Yahoo to go deploy a COE<br>>like kubernetes (which has no multi-tenancy or a very basic implementation<br>>of such) and get it to work with hundreds of different competing<br>>applications. I would speculate the administrative overhead of getting<br>>all that to work would be greater then the administrative overhead of<br>>simply doing a bay create for the various tenants.<br>> <br>>Placing tenancy inside a COE seems interesting, but no COE does that<br>>today. Maybe in the future they will. Magnum was designed to present an<br>>integration point between COEs and OpenStack today, not five years down<br>>the road. Its not as if we took shortcuts to get to where we are.<br>> <br>>I will grant you that density is lower with the current design of Magnum<br>>vs a full on integration with OpenStack within the COE itself. However,<br>>that model which is what I believe you proposed is a huge design change to<br>>each COE which would overly complicate the COE at the gain of increased<br>>density. I personally don¡¯t feel that pain is worth the gain.</font><font size="4"><br><br></font><font size="4" face="Helvetica"><br>___________________________________________________________________<br>Kris Lindgren<br>Senior Linux Systems Engineer<br>GoDaddy</font><font size="5" face="Helvetica"><br><br>__________________________________________________________________________<br>OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)<br>Unsubscribe: </font><a href="mailto:OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org"><u><font size="5" color="#0000FF" face="Helvetica">OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org</font></u></a><font size="5" face="Helvetica">?subject:unsubscribe</font><u><font size="4" color="#0000FF"><br></font></u><a href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev" target="_blank"><u><font size="5" color="#0000FF" face="Helvetica">http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev</font></u></a><font size="4"><br>__________________________________________________________________________<br>OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)<br>Unsubscribe: </font><a href="mailto:OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe"><u><font size="4" color="#0000FF">OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe</font></u></a><u><font size="4" color="#0000FF"><br></font></u><a href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev"><u><font size="4" color="#0000FF">http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev</font></u></a><font size="4"><br><br></font><tt>__________________________________________________________________________<br>OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)<br>Unsubscribe: OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe<br></tt><tt><a href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev">http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev</a></tt><tt><br></tt><br><br><BR>
